On September 22nd, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) announced the launch of its electronic cigarette prevention and education resource center.
The online resource center provides scientifically-based standard mapping materials that teachers can use to help students understand the negative effects associated with vaping and nicotine addiction.
In a press release, the FDA announced that a new resource center has been established to provide teachers with age-appropriate interdisciplinary resources to promote learning and initiate open dialogue with young people about e-cigarettes. The center is an extension of the FDA's previous collaboration with Scholastic, which has recently ended. Materials developed through this collaboration can be found in the resource center.
In addition to content designed for teachers, CTP has also developed materials for parents and teenagers. According to a press release, all content on the resource center is free, easy to navigate, and optimized for each audience.
Teachers will have access to a curriculum plan, interactive tools, infographics, and videos that contain facts about tobacco, as well as tips on how to teach teenagers about the dangers of vaping.
Parents can access information sheets, videos, and resources to help them understand and identify electronic cigarettes, have conversations with their children, and maintain ongoing dialogue over time.
Students will discover real-life stories and related content to help them understand electronic cigarettes, nicotine addiction, common myths about e-cigarettes, and how to say no to them.
The launch of the resource center demonstrates the FDA's ongoing commitment to preventing youth electronic cigarette use.
